Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh red chili peppers, finely chopped (adjust based on heat preference)
- 1 package (1.75 oz) pectin
Instructions
- Prepare your mangoes by washing, peeling, and chopping them into small pieces; set aside.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped mangoes with sugar and lemon juice. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
- Once bubbling gently, stir in the finely chopped chili peppers and cook until aromatic.
- Gradually add pectin while stirring to avoid lumps; boil for about 1-2 minutes until thickened.
- Test for consistency by dropping a spoonful on a cold plate; if it holds its shape after cooling slightly, it's ready.
- Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, seal tightly, and let cool upside down for vacuum sealing.
